Touch
Touch is one of the most important things in the world. Their importance is based on their symbolic meaning. When a person holds your hand, it means they want to show they're there for you, or they seek protection from you. When a person hugs you they're showing they want to be close. When a person slaps you it shows you've upset them, or somebody has upset them. So as you can see, touch exposes a persons feelings. Body movement does that in general. Touch is also often misread though. At one time or another you've probably been hugged. As I said, hugs show the desire to be close. You might interpret that hug to have been a sign of special affection. However if you don't pay attention to the way that person acts you might have mistaken a friendly hug to be something more than that. That person might just be one who seeks closeness from everyone. If that is uncommon to you it could be misinterpreted. I think based on the looseness of today's society, feelings are consistently being misconstrued. I'm glad it's easier to be close to people though. That way you don't have to constantly fear being found out. I'm also glad nobody reads anyone's blogs, that way, I don't have to fear anyone will read my dumb crap.
